quote:Well likely will have killed itself before 25 days. I'm looking at their sDOCD and their Uncontrolled blowout on their Worst Case Discharge is 200 bbls of condensate/ day. I also bet it was the accumulator that got them into this situation not the BOP's failing.

I read that they shot the zone and the drilling fluids went south. Guess they didnt have enough bromide on hand.

Well A-3: Original well was dry hole. Well A-3 ST1: Well bypassed twice. BP02 produced 170 MBO, 19 BCF, 20 MBW from 10/2006-12/2012 all in 11500' Sand. Max reported test I see is 11.1 MMCFD. Pretty high initial BHP at 9150 psia.

They weren't using a CT unit. They were using a completion string. One of the main reasons to use TCP guns is to perforate underbalanced. The well WILL start producing if you are truly underbalanced. Using the TCP method of perforating allows you to conduct a drill stem test immediately after perforating.

Probably not much info about what they did to control the kick so that's why we are speculating.
